Carol Schram: Draft Day 2020 looks and feels very different for the Vancouver Canucks After four years of Top 10 picks in the draft, the Vancouver Canucks' main priorities until Day 2 are seeing whether they can get a trade done for Oliver Ekman-Larsson, finalizing a new contract with Jacob Markstrom, and making decisions on qualifying offers for their restricted free agents and any possible buyouts.

Vegas desperate to shed salary


Schmidt is available too now. He was their top dman before Theodore took over that role

Maybe they want to clear cap for a big trade/UFA?

Has some appeal but I don’t see that happening.

I would put Hoglander with Bo over Pearson. Kid can pass and forchecks hard.

I think playing sheltered minutes on the third line to start is a good way to bring him into the NHL. Playing with Bo off the bat is playing against other team's top lines – which is a tough task when adjusting to the NHL rink.

Looks like Toffoli going to the market because VAN can’t clear the space

Word it appears as if Tyler Toffoli will hit market due to VAN’s tight cap situation. Another scorer available in free agency

If they're trying to save cap just to overpay Barrie in UFA, the shambles will deepen

NHL Rumours says...

“The #Canucks really screwed the pooch here with both of their big UFAs... focused elsewhere and kept Toffoli and Markstrom on hold after starting negotiations”

Toffoli is more important to the teams long term success than Markstrom. We'll see how it all shakes out but I think this likely means a big deal for Markstrom is imminent.

I think Benning is dead set on a pick moving dman, either OEL or Barrie. He wants cap space for either option. We all know Jim empties the money clip when he's dead set on a specific type of player.

Bo is probably in the deepest shambles if TT walks, goes back to potentially having Pearson as his best winger with a revolving door at RW again instead of Boeser/Toffoli. I bet his oversized head will explode if he has to spend another game with LE on his line.

how is the cap biting already (tanev,markstrom,tiffoli). or because with OEL they have no space..

I think he re-signs in LA despite his lip service saying he liked Vancouver.

Benning basically showed his hand yesterday when he talked on local radio. He wants to add another high end puck moving dman. OEL, Barrie, etc.

You need to keep cap space open for that.
